Jemimah, a student of Software Engineering at ALX shares her story of how hard work and perseverance laid the groundwork for her career advancement in the tech field.
“In all probability, I think I’ve learned more at ALX over the past 4 weeks about navigating the real world than I did during my entire 4-year stay on campus.”
“My time at ALX was just the push I needed. It offered top-notch resources, the ideal community, and practical experience. ALX exceeded my expectations and stoked my interest in tech. It gave me the opportunity to meet peers who were already succeeding in the field of technology, which helped me gather knowledge of what to anticipate from any area of tech I decide to follow. If you need to kickstart a career in tech, ALX is the place for you!”
“ALX was an exceptional experience for me and very informative. I learnt a lot of skills and gained tools I didn’t have before.”
